TAMPA (SNN-TV) – Following the retirement of Rob Gronkowski, the Buccaneers have signed an experienced tight end to pair alongside Cam Brate.
Tight end Kyle Rudolph is signing a one-year contact with Tampa Bay. The New York Giants released Rudolph in March after he had 26 catches for 257 yards and a touchdown in his only year with the team. Prior to 2021, Rudolph spent 10 seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.
Tom Brady’s newest weapon is a two-time Pro Bowler, and has 479 catches for 4,745 yards and 49 touchdowns in his NFL career.
Aside from Brate, the Bucs have just one other tight end with game experience on the roster in Codey McElroy. The team also selected Cade Otton and Ko Kieft in April’s NFL draft.
